Lindi pass the bottle, you know drinking alone is not permitted. Lol
I thought my day started early at 6.30 but wow you beat me! I love my early summer mornings with the chips before the kids wake up but it is starting to get tough now it is cold and dark.

Jenny, Molly is gorgeous!
Must admit she's a lot lighter than I thought she would be - I expected more of a weight carrying horse, which she is obviously not! Do you know what the cross is (with the Clydesdale), perhaps that would explain her lighness of bone and her good looks? I am also presuming she's a youngster? But that picture of her and Beau is soooooooo sweet.
Oh Lindy, tonight is certainly one for the blazing log fire isn't it with or without the bottle? I hate this rain especially when it is coupled with such a cold wind. Brrrrrrrr!

good morning ,,just woke up and i still feeling like iam a zomby maybe b/c ive got the bloody flu now
molly is crossed with a t/breed thats probly why she not so chuncky..i think she about 4 yrs old and my brother has had here since she was born and he,s done nothing with her...i mean nothingno training at all ,,,but he does work hard and does,nt have much time for her but he just wont part with her...so now she,s at my place iam going to train her and brake her in......
I think that is lovely Jenny, and she is a beauitful mare!! so glad you will be doing something with her now....
sorry to change the subject... but WHERE is our update of your beautiful new baby/???!!!!!!
some day piccies would be lovely to please!!!
sorry you have the flu.... it sucks. but with all the weather changes we are having at the moment its no wonder everyone is getting sick!!! up n down, wet n dry, it can't make up its mind LOL but at least the grass is growing great!!
I'm so sorry that you have the dreaded flu bug Jenny, you have probably got very run down with the lack of sleep and all the stress of the last few weeks. Lots of chicken soup and honey and lemon drinks plus loads of sleep (if possible!) will soon set you right - hopefully!
Molly is so gorgeous and I'm pleased she has come to you and will soon be doing/learning new things, but well done to your brother for not just passing her on because he never had the time to start working with her.
Take care and try to rest as much as possible. ((((HUGS))))

Wow Jenny she is absolutely gorgeous!!!I think I'm in love!!! She really is absolutely beautiful!!!Safire has done a beautiful job! So is her name little lucky lady in waiting??Love the barn name lady for her
She is simply gorgeous!!
Oh Jenny she is absolutely fantastic - very pretty and so well marked too!
Mares often dont poo until 24 hours after foaling becaused they 'emptied' out all the poo when in labour, so it is going to take up to 24 hours for food to be passing through their systems again. It is important that from foaling to at least several days afterwards a mare is offered regular mushy/wet feeds and soft leafy hay alongside her regular grass - it is very easy to get a blockage as her system slowly starts working again if too much dry food is given, plus it can cause the mare more pain if she is having to struggle to do a 'hard' first pile of poo the day after foaling! So keep it wet and keep it green is the best policy for newly foaled mares.
Poor Saffire is probably a bit swollen at the back because for a start she was a maiden mare and also Lady is a big foal for a first foal. I suspect Saffire had a bit more of a struggle to get her born than perhaps you realised, which is why it is good if you can be there to help ease a first foal (any foal) out into the world, to 'shorten' the time that the mare is fully 'stretched' as the withers/shoulders/chest area is working its way through the birth canal. I'm sure the swelling and bruising will go down in a few days, bless her.
